AB Plastic  surgery  is  the  field  of  surgery  that  addresses  congenital  and  acquired  defects,  striving  to  return  form  and  function.Plastic  surgery  has  been  a  field  of  innovation.  The  future  of  the  specialty  likely  includes  advancements  in  the  areas  of  regenerative  medicine,  fetal  surgery,  and  reconstructive  transplantation  with  composite  tissue  allotransplants.Children  diagnosed  with  cleft  and  craniofacial  anomalies  benefit  from  interdisciplinary  care  at  a  specialized  center  focusing  on  team  care.  Long-term  follow-up  during  growth  and  development  is  critical  for  optimal  outcomes.Reconstructive  surgery  attempts  to  restore  form  and  function  through  techniques  that  include  skin  grafting,  use  of  muscle  flaps,  bone  grafting,  tissue  expansion,  free  tissue  transfer  with  microsurgery,  and  replantation.Aesthetic  surgery  is  surgery  performed  to  reshape  the  normal  structure  of  the  body  to  improve  the  patient’s  appearance  and  self-esteem.  Patients  undergoing  aesthetic  surgery  present  a  unique  challenge.  The  most  important  outcome  parameter  is  patient  satisfaction,  and  therefore,  a  thorough  understanding  of  the  patient’s  motivations,  goals,  and  expectations  is  critical.
